    Difference is Joshua is a legit, more than likely blue chip prospect.... Price can bang, but he has no chin, no jab, and no defense.

    How old was Skelton when Joshua fought him? 48? Skelton is a never was he isn't some sort of barometer for anything. The way the Brits are fawning over Joshua is the same way they treated Price and he looks about the same against the same guys who can't punch back that Price fought.

    Joshua has a Glass Jaw and no stamina just like Price.

    Skelton is a great barometer IMO. Look how Price took half a dozen solid flush punches from Skelton, while AJ didn't take a single punch from the same shot Skelton, thanks for a more assertive jab, better movement, better reflexes. Are you disagreeing with this?

    I am not saying Joshua is guaranteed world-champion material (he's unproven at this point). My point is Joshua is not obviously flawed like Price is. We (I) should have clearly seen how severely limited Price is way beyond he was exposed by Thompson.

    Ok. Joshua looked a bit better against Skelton. But it's really not saying much.

    Price is a glass chin bum with no defence.
    And even he shouldn't have been fighting a washed up old relic like Skelton.
    It proves nothing.

    Fair enough Joshua faced Skelton in his 6th fight.
    Still, he hasn't shown anything since then either.

    you can just look at prices build and come to the conclusion that he is a knockout waiting to happen

    When you cant throw a jab with conviction and authority then even a smaller man will be able to close the distance and back you up.
